Plajia, Oh What A Beautiful Explosion!

We recently received an e-mail from a Canadian called Plajia. Plajia is different from most of the music we receive. These guys are really, really good. The most interesting thing to me is that they sent us 5 songs, and under the “genre” tab on Itunes there were 3 different genres. They describe two songs as “Rock”, two as “Ballad”, and one as “Psychedelic.” This just sort of shows how different each one of their songs are. The band consists of 3 members. Patrick Pleau: lead vocals, guitars, keyboards and harmonica, Simon Boivin: bass and backing vocals, and Pascal Laviolette: drums, percussion and backing vocals. They’ve released one album which is called Beautiful Explosion. You can find where to buy it at their website. All the songs we were sent were truly different and all equally impressive. They’ve released a video which is also conveniently located below.
This song reminds me of Band Of Horses frolicking through a park on a sunny afternoon. Not the band, a song of theirs. If a Band Of Horses song were to have legs, this would be its offspring. But then, clouds appear and it starts to thunder a lot and the song gets sad and breaks shit.

This song has a funkier edge to it than the rest, but its good funk. Its not like Red Hot Chili Peppers funk, it’s funk that works. I love how this song completely transcends itself when the double time happens.Plajia- Beautiful Explosion
